The Newcomer by Suzanne Woods Fisher
This is a fantastic read! Ms Fisher is a marvelous historical
novelist! From page one I couldn’t stop
reading this book! I read it all in one
day and I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out! The story is set in the 1700s when Amish were
immigrating to America in hopes of religious freedom. It is a fascinating story of the different
religious sects developing in Pennsylvania during these times. Through the characters adventures we can compare
and contrast the Amish with the Dunkers and Ephrata Community. The characters bring to life these religious
groups that sought peace and a simple way of living. Bairn and Anna are in love but will love be
enough to bridge the differences in their beliefs and desires in this new land? What makes a good leader? Is it Jacob’s stalwart face despite glaring
obstacles? Or is it Newman’s take charge
charisma? Does God speak to the
individual heart? Or only to the leader? Read this book for a wonderful tale that will
also help you search your own soul.
I received this book from the Revell
publishers.
